In 2002, Rutgers – LEAP needed to produce an engaging, entertaining and informative gala presentation honoring the community commitment of Mr. Vernon Hill, President and CEO of Commerce Bank.

Working closely with Commerce bank’s Public Relation Official and Director of Corporate Giving to portray the interviewees and Mr. Hill in the most positive manner possible. This attention to detail encompassed not only the location production but also the post-production and the graphic treatment.

A unique show open and energetic animated graphics package were created. These elements, along with a dynamic music bed and professional voice over enabled this project to become a big success.

The final presentation version was presented on a large screen for approximately 300 people including the Governor and his wife. As a result, this persuasive and heartwarming presentation of the LEAP Academy assisted in raising more than $300,000 dollars in pledges from the attendees.
